About the show

Medical Voices is a weekly medical English podcast that teaches the language of healthcare through realistic clinical role-play — built for internationally trained nurses and doctors preparing for OET, IELTS, and professional registration in English-speaking countries. Each episode breaks down 10 essential clinical vocabulary terms, then puts them to work in a full doctor-patient or nurse-patient dialogue drawn from real UK clinical settings — GP consultations, hospital wards, pharmacy visits, specialist referrals, and more. Free PDF transcripts with the full vocabulary table and language notes are available for every episode. We call our listeners the Med Nomads — every healthcare worker who has ever crossed a border with their stethoscope and their dreams. We exist for the nurse rebuilding her life in a new country. The IMG fighting imposter syndrome in a foreign hospital. The student who mastered medicine in one language only to practise in another. We believe healthcare workers belong anywhere in the world, in any language. We make the language of medicine learnable, dignified, and free — so no Med Nomad ever feels like a stranger in the place they came to heal. New episodes every Tuesday. Hosted by Nadia and Tom. 📄 Free video episodes and PDF transcripts: https://medicalvoices.health 🇫🇷 French-language version: "Voix Médicales Podcast" on YouTube -- ⚕ This content is for language learning purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
